ACP — Glycine max

Summary

GmACP (GLYMA_09G014000V4) on soybean chromosome 9 encodes an acyl carrier protein (ACP) belonging to the ACP-like superfamily and the phosphopantetheine-binding ACP domain, with acyl carrier activity. This gene is associated with fatty acid anabolism, elongation, and lipogenesis, as well as protein acylation, phosphatidylcholine anabolism, and mitochondrial localization. It has been connected to stearic, palmitic, and oleic acid content, starch content, and embryo development. Studies of related genes in other species link the ACP family to seed weight and plant embryo development traits.
